Ronnie James Dio

The musical world has lost a legend, and I’ve lost a friend in the passing of Cozy Powell. His brilliance as a drummer was evident to everyone who heard him perform, but it will always be his irrepressible spirit and full appetite for life that those of us fortunate enough to have known him intimately will remember. Cozy’s physical pesence may be gone,but his place in our hearts will never be forgotten.”

Ronnie James Dio
April 7, 1998

Ronnie played with Cozy in Rainbow, and was also briefly in Black Sabbath in 1991.

About This Site

This website is a tribute to the late Cozy Powell who died on April 5, 1998. As originally conceived, this website was something that Cozy wanted to use to promote himself and his music, but he unfortunately died roughly four months after it opened. What is here is a combination of Cozy's original design with some updated graphics as well as the many tributes that have come his way since his untimely passing.
Cozy Powell may be gone, but his music lives on, in more ways than one.
